rwsem: Add comments to explain the meaning of the rwsem's count field
It took me quite a while to understand how rwsem's count field mainifested itself in different scenarios. Add comments to provide a quick reference to the the rwsem's count field for each scenario where readers and writers are contending for the lock. Hopefully it will be useful for future maintenance of the code and for people to get up to speed on how the logic in the code works.
